A Message from Anthony

The conventional antidote to experiencing "negative" states such as feelings of mediocrity, nervousness, tension and self-consciousness, is to impose "positive" behavior so the executive "acts" confident, relaxed, dynamic and self-assured while experiencing just the opposite.

The Bova Communication System trains clients in a contrarian fashion. I train the executive how not to "act," how not to posture, how not to function in spite of nerves and tension-but rather to communicate from an authentically confident and relaxed state. In order to make their most optimal business contribution, the executive must communicate from a centered and authentic place within themselves-and they must be trained to access this space at will. Knowing a specific process for attaining this unique state is what separates our clients from their competition and paves the way for impactful and superior communication skills.

If you want your audience to be relaxed, you have to be relaxed. If you want your audience to be passionate about your product or service, you have to be passionate about your product or service. Listen to what I have to say to senior executives about regaining confidence. If you want your audience to trust you, then you need to be trusting, and so on. We train our clients to transform their behavior from hard-wired communication obstacles that can compromise their message to clear, confident and dynamic communications that connect to the hearts and minds of their audience.
